Arketipo Firenze
For centuries, Florence and its surroundings has attracted everything from the artisan to the grand Master of Design and education. The morning coffee, the seasons fashions, our innate sense of style is all derived from their contribution; their personality, vision and trend setting has helped define our own professional work.
We use our heritage to help guide us to a new age. An age of research and development, an age of instant approval, likes and shares. The ethos of Italian design & culture is released into these new environments; ones our clients across the world share.
Our logo reflects that styling with one important note, Firenze in our title. It shows how we still look to our heritage for constantly pivoting to the new.
From the very beginning our mission was: To transform ideas into unique and original items.
Our collaborators, craftsmen and employees have tried new things, it is our ethos that ‘experiences make the product’, not science. By trying, we learn, by experimenting we grow by being courageous, we make memories.
We study, we talk, we identify, we feel different things from the raw materials, what we get is something different, every single time. Where one sees a wood, metal and cloth, we see a craft, a desire to bring a pleasurable endeavour to the soul and delight for years to come.
Arketipo is this.
Craftspeople of experiences, where every idea is considered in its approach.
We are the thinkers, the ones who take a structuralist approach. We look at the world, the bigger picture and ask, “how can we make furniture that makes our clients shout, ‘that’s the one!’?”
We’ve spent thirty years working with the best designers, collaborators, taking their backgrounds from other arts, sciences and engineering and asking them to “push themselves, be curious” and “take chances.” We’re not a production line, a laboratory nor a focus group. We’re constantly pushing the rules, making sense of the world and creating the unexpected.
Imagine then not being challenged, not being asked to think about those things?
We can’t.
Quality materials, attention to details, Italian design and functionality find expression in unique shapes of our products 100% made in Italy. Tables, chairs, beds, sideboards, bookshelves, lighting and more other accessories to complete your home.
A story of ideas, creativity and experimentation. Since 1976. This is the know-how that Magis brings to the world of design. Established in Northern Italy as a family business, the ingenuity of the visionary Eugenio Perazza soon led it to become a great design laboratory for home, outdoor, office and contract furniture, and a global player in the design field. EXPERIMENTING… MORE Magis is a Latin word meaning “more“. And this is precisely the origin of the propulsive drive for experimentation. To be and do more. Magis has always believed in young and emerging talents, and over the years, the company has grown and experimented alongside many of them, now famous on the international scene. Jasper Morrison, Konstantin Grcic, Philippe Starck, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec and Jerszy Seymour are just some of the designers who are part of the Magis family. INNOVATING A concrete view of design, unafraid to dare. Because the drive towards ever new ideas, codes and production systems leads this company towards an uncompromising design that will last over time and create not only industrial projects with an artisanal soul, but also positive relationships with employees, customers and partners. The focus is on design, the choice of materials, technologies and production processes, which are different for each project and product. With one eye toward the past, which Magis loves to draw upon, and one on a new, sustainable and timeless future. An eclectic, versatile design that graces homes, public spaces and the permanent exhibitions of more than 35 museums around the world, and has won close to a hundred extremely prestigious accolades, including five Compasso d’Oro awards, the oldest and most authoritative worldwide design award.
